She was always there each time I needed you, 
Holding on to me like I held on to you, 
We still don't have what you and I once had; 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.

No, It's Not Love, not like ours was. It's Not Love, 
But it keeps love from driving me mad; 
And I don't have to wonder who she's had. 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad

I turn to her when you leave me alone, 
Sometimes even when you're here, and you're still gone. 
She slowly changing what you leave so sad; 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.

No, It's Not Love, not like ours was. It's Not Love, 
But it keeps love from driving me mad; 
And I don't have to wonder who she's had. 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad

Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »
